The same reason Shore Troopers do... style points. Or maybe they don't want to get gum on their seats at the pod racing stands. Darn kids and their stupid chewing gum.

Vanth isn't dead, because his body changes positions drastically within a scene of each other, continuity wasn't strong here, haha
[/SPOILER]
So many hallucinogens in Star Wars- spice, licking frogs for Jedi, tusken lizards up the nose. Might need an higher level parental rating…Luke to Grogu, sitting at a pond, watching some frogs:
"No, no, no, don't eat them. LICK on them. And soon you will be enlightened..!"
Grogu (thinking): "If I turn into a robot like you then I'd rather EAT them."

Haha! Oops! I also took that they were tending to him and requesting medpacs to imply he was at least still alive at that point.

if you rewatch the scene you can see he anticipates the shot and starts to try and dodge it before it hits him.
Well, a little disheartened at the
.
One thing I don't see anyone really discussing... is how Grogu survived order 66. I think the answer is easier than anyone would care to admit.
We've seen him do borderline dark-side stuff before, like when he nearly choked out Cara Dune. Who's to say he didn't go full dark side for a minute, annihilated the troopers, and then passed out from the strain, only to be rescued by somebody else? Fear lends strength so they say. And then he spends the next 26 years (figure 18 years from EP3 to ANH, then another 4 years for the OT, then 5-ish years to Mandalorian) just living, having forgotten the dark days at the Empire's rise?
"But he's so cute, he couldn't possibly be evil!" Looking at you, Stripe, from Gremlins...
"announcement" that Garza is no more. I even figured out how she could have avoided the bomb... mostly. She still would have needed Boba's Bacta tank for a long while afterwards, but she COULD have lived... just slightly crispy for a time

Well since no body is ever really gone, may as well have been Mace Windu who saved him. He's alive. That would be the most viral way to explain it.Well, a little disheartened at the."announcement" that Garza is no more. I even figured out how she could have avoided the bomb... mostly.

Because as deep as Disney's pockets are, they don't have an infinite amount of money and effects, both practical and CG are expensive and time-consuming. At the end of the day, this, and other shows, are being produced to make the company money and if they spend extra millions on every little thing then that means less money is being made. Both the Mandalorian and BoBF are probably hugely expensive shows to produce, which likely explains the fairly short run times and episode counts, and spending even more money for small things to satisfy every nitpick of every nitpicky fan aren't very likely to do anything to draw in more subscribers or whatever matrix that Disney uses to measure success.

Not to mention, I don’t think a single streaming service has ever really released how much money they make on any of their offerings. It’s not like box office sales, where you can guestimate whether or not a studio lost money based on the budget, accounting for marketing, and then how many tickets it sold.

I honestly really like this line of thinking. I keep seeing lame and boring theories that it was Mace Windu, Jocasta Nu, etc but I think it could be something unexpected like this. I had wondered if maybe Thrawn had been the one, ordering the troopers to stand down, recognizing Grogu’s uniqueness and future value. Grogu in fact wiping out the troopers with the Force would be great though!Well, a little disheartened at the."announcement" that Garza is no more.

This show and The Mandalorian's success are measured by how many Grogu toys they sell.
I saw Ahsoka and Qui-Gon as living by the Jedi teachings, but being open to breaking the rules when it made sense. Like they agreed with 80% of the teachings, but felt that 20% needed judgement and flexibility. It was rigidity in that 20% that made Jedi Order too extreme at the end. They focused so much on their rituals, they lost all feeling and could no longer be compassionate.
However, Qui-Gon still made questionable choices. He knew Anakin would be forever parted from his mother and he still took him. He understood it was difficult, but he still was okay with the pain it would cause to have him become a great Jedi. Anakin was a slave, so any life outside of that was likely to be better, but Qui-Gon did not seem concerned with making further effort to free the mother or make arrangements for him to see the mother again. I don't think he was the type to go that far outside of the teachings. If we're looking at what Luke is doing here, he is sticking to the dogma that attachments are bad, but he's actually giving Grogu a choice which shows more compassion to me than what the Jedi Order had. They took any and every force sensitive kid away from their home life without question.
And while Luke eventually overcame it himself, I still always saw attachment as a dangerous thing. We see how dark Luke went when defending Leia in ROTJ, only to snap out of it at the last moment. Luke's attachment to Han and Leia also nearly got him killed in ESB, when he rushed to face Vader. I don't know that because he eventually overcame it, he had it all figured out how he could easily pass that on. It was a difficult path.
So that's all to say that I don't think allowing attachments or forgoing all Jedi teachings is easy to do. It should be the ultimate goal, but I don't begrudge these two for falling back on their trainings rather than dive deep into a very challenging lesson early on with Luke's first student. Giving Grogu a choice on if he wants to be a Jedi, and then later being compassionate to Grogu's difficulties would already be a huge step up from the Jedi Order.
With more time, I could totally see Luke learning how to better teach this more difficult lesson.
“Hey hey over there” sounds like a song lol
This is just demonic
